Advanced Features

The Advanced tab grants you swift access to an array of advanced tools, among them the Memcached distributed memory caching system and the Varnish Cache web accelerator, which will help you optimize your websites and applications without the need to move away from the Control Panel. Based on the website hosting package, these tools are either included by default or are offered in the form of easily gettable upgrades. InnoDB and NodeJS support is offered too.

Varnish

Varnish Cache is a web accelerator also referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You can install it in front of any web server that speaks the HTTP protocol and configure it to cache the contents. Varnish Cache is really, really fast and will increase your website's speed. One of the major attributes of Varnish Cache is the flexibility of its principal configuration mechanism, VCL, which enables you to choose how incoming requests should be dealt with.

Memcached

Memcached is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system for increasing the loading speed of dynamic database-powered web sites. It is used to reduce the number of times an external data source (such as a database or API) is read by caching data and objects in RAM. The Memcached distributed memory caching system uses a client'server architecture. The Memcached memory caching system is used by some of the most traffic-intensive websites on the Internet and is supported by famous web applications like Joomla and WordPress.

Node.js

Node.js is a software system for building highly scalable Internet apps. Written in JavaScript, Node.js uses an event-based, asynchronous I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, excellent for high-performance data-heavy applications. Node.js uses Google's V8 JavaScript engine, libUV, and a number of built-in libraries.

InnoDB

InnoDB is the default storage engine for the MySQL open-source DBMS. A database engine is the primary software component that a database management system uses to create, read, update and delete data from a database. The latest edition of InnoDB offers considerable improvements in efficiency, reliability and functionality. InnoDB provides the standard ACID database transaction properties, along with referential integrity support. InnoDB is included as standard in most binaries distributed by MySQL AB.
